What we know and what we don't know. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.271.20.11936. The inability to obtain crystals from a protein often reflects the presence of unstructured regions or flexible domains. Tel. Poxviruses, a family of viruses with a large DNA genome, modulate pathogen detection and associated signaling systems to replicate successfully. 41. Vaccinia virus, a member of the Poxviridae family, is a double-stranded DNA containing virus that carries out its replication This life cycle necessitates that most enzymes required for gene expression and DNA replication are encoded by the virus. Crystal contacts as nature's docking solutions. Poxviruses use virus-encoded multisubunit RNA polymerases (vRNAPs) and RNA-processing factors to generate m 7 G-capped mRNAs in the host cytoplasm. The A41 protein shares sequence similarity with another VACV protein that binds CC chemokines (called vCKBP, or viral CC chemokine inhibit … Vaccinia virus (VACV), the prototype member of this family, was the live vaccine used to eradicate smallpox, caused by variola virus (VARV) [7]. TLRs, which are present on the plasma membrane and in the endosomes, consist of an ectodomain with leucine-rich repeats for recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns, a single transmembrane spanning domain, and an intracellular TIR domain (. We were unable to express the variant A46-(87–229)F144A. Human embryonic kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells were a kind gift of Dr. G. Versteeg. Pages 143-155. The vaccinia virus-encoded Bcl-2 homologues do not act as direct Bax inhibitors. Instead poxvirus virions appear as "brick shaped" or "ovoid" membrane-bound particles with a complex internal structure featuring a walled, biconcave core flanked by "lateral bodies." Structurally, A52 has been shown to possess a Bcl-2-like fold (a central α-helix surrounded by five or six other α-helices; Ref. The affinity of the methyltransferase domain for RNA is nearly 8-fold greater than D1R, Although the binding of triphosphorylated RNA to the D1R, In considering these data in the fuller context of a single round of RNA cap formation, it is surprising that that the binding of RNA to the methyltransferase domain is roughly 8-fold stronger than binding to D1R, A weak but specific association of RNA with D1R. Application to microtubules and the ribosome. Microscale thermophoresis quantifies biomolecular interactions under previously challenging conditions. The combination of cryo-microscopy and electron tomographic reconstruction has allowed us to determine the structure of one of the more complex viruses, intracellular mature vaccinia virus, at a resolution of 4–6 nm. Roizman B. To date, the molecular mechanism involved in poxvirus DNA replication remains … Nouhou Ibrahim, Paula Traktman. Pages 131-141. The vaccinia virus entry/fusion complex (EFC) is comprised of at least eight transmembrane proteins that are conserved in all poxviruses. The VACV strain Copenhagen genome contains approximately 200 genes [8], although the number of genes varies slightly between strains [9]. Research methods. Small crystals were observed with the full-length A46 protein alone; however, they failed to grow, and their generation was irreproducible. A peptide mimic termed VIPER comprising 11 A46 residues (88–98) was shown to inhibit the interaction of A46 with the binding partner TRAM but not with MyD88 or MAL (, Of the poxviral proteins adopting a Bcl-2-like fold, A46 shows the highest sequence identity (16%) to A52.

Viral infection. Investigation of VACV, the virus employed as the vaccine to eradicate smallpox virus in the third-quarter of the twentieth century (. Full-length A46 behaves as tetramer, whereas the N-terminal truncated form is a dimer, suggesting that in the full-length form two dimers are held together by the N-terminal 80 residues that are absent from the structure. Sequence similarity and evolutionary history. However, under the conditions employed, we were unable to obtain reproducible measurements because of the precipitation of one of the interaction partners. Superimposition of the A46 structure showed that the most closely related structure is that of A52 (111 residues, r.m.s.d. Because A27 is a neutralizing target, structural information will aid the development of inhibitors to block A27 self-assembly or complex formation against vaccinia virus … ClusPro, PIPER, SDU, and stability analysis in CAPRI rounds 13–19. No structure is, however, at present available for the 240-amino acid anti-inflammatory protein A46. Innate and adaptive immune responses to viral infection and vaccination. Tel.
